I had an interesting conversation with Dr. Scott Decker and Professor Dan Zorich both of Arizona State University yesterday on the telephone. We talked about ASU’s creation of an online version of their program offerings from their School of Criminology and Criminal Justice.

The Arizona State University Bachelor of Science in Criminology… and Criminal Justice degree program is now being offered fully online. This is an exciting option for anyone who needs the flexibility of an online study program.
Arizona State University offers excellent preparation for students and professionals who wish to excel in the diverse field of criminal justice. ASU’s graduates will be well equipped and competitively positioned for careers in Law Enforcement, Corrections, Probation, Parole, Legal offices, Court personnel, Victim/Witness advocate agencies and Private Security.
